Hello,

not sure if I am in the right place to be asking this... but I am just wanting to know what cakes freeze and thaw the best?

I am holding a fundraising 'Open Garden' event tomorrow afternoon (Sat 10th) and again the following Saturday 17th... people have been very kind offering to bake for our cake stand and I am concerned that with the poor weather we may have too many and so will need to freeze them for the following week.


Any suggestions ??

My mum used to cook lots of different cakes and she would freeze all of them from light sponges to a dense flourless chocolate cake. However they were always frozen undecorated so I would imagine anything with cream or similar additions might be better to eat rather than freeze.

Most cakes freeze well as long as they're very well wrapped and not iced or filled with cream, etc. plain (American) vanilla cake freezes beautifully, as does the Leith's chocolate fudge cake, and Nigella's coffee cake. Scones and American muffins freeze and unfreeze well too.


Things like meringues store well for ages (with the same proviso of not being filled) in an airtight container.


Good luck for tomorrow!

Hi!

Thanks all, really appreciate your suggestions, and warm humour ; )


I'll see what turns up tomorrow and will seek further advice if needed. Naturally, I could of course eat all of the cakes and request more next weekend...


I'll let you know how we get on, please come by if you're in the 'hood!


Best

Thanks for keeping the humour alive on this thread everyone :)


I have some seriously amazing goodies on ice right now. Come along on Saturday (May 17th, 2pm - 5pm) to enjoy them.


Here is a promotional video about the garden and event:

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor.

The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
